I Subject: Marshall Farms Business Center
Preliminary Site Plan - Project # LS-2008-004
Commission District # 3 - Rusty Johnson
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary Site Plan for Marshall
Farms Business Center?
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The subject site is approximately 8.16 acres in size and is located on the west side of Marshall Farms
Road approximately 400 feet south of W. Colonial Drive (SR-50) intersection. The subject site is currently
undeveloped with a variety of trees, wetlands and 100-year floodplain areas. Currently, there is an
abandoned single-family residence on the property that will be demolished.
The adjacent land use to the north is vacant and undeveloped land zoned "General Commercial" C-3.
Adjacent to the west is the Florida Turnpike (Sunshine State Parkway) off-ramp. Adjacent to the south is a
water retention pond owned and maintained by the Orlando/Orange County Expressway Authority. To the
southwest is vacant and undeveloped land zoned "General Commercial" C-3. To the northwest is an auto
wholesale facility (Woodall) zoned "General Commercial" C-3. To the north of the auto wholesale is a 3-
story storage (U-Haul) facility in unincorporated Orange County and an auto service (Just Brakes)
establishment.
The Future Land Use designation for the site is Commercial. The subject property is currently zoned
General Commercial (C-3), which permits development and construction of the proposed use. Therefore,
the requested use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the adopted Land Development Code
(LDC).
DISCUSSION:
The Marshall Farms Business Center Site Plan consists of an office/warehouse and retail facility. The total
project is proposed to be developed in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the office/warehouse building
and Phase II will consist of a strip retail commercial building. The total combined building floor area will be
(26,000 office/warehouse + 10,000 retail building) 36,000 square feet which is within the allowed intensity.
The site plan has all the requisite parking per the Land Development Code.
On the western portion of the site, there are wetlands and associated 100-Year flood zones. Consistent
with City Policy, approximately 1.8 acre of wetlands (Tract "E") will be preserved under a conservation
easement dedicated to the City. Tracts "B" and "C" consists of the requisite 25-foot wide upland buffers.
Off-site improvements for the project are programmed to be directional median openings on State Road 50
at Marshall Farms Road for the restriction of all north-bound and south-bound left and through movements
at the intersection. Accordingly, construction plans for the directional median openings will be incorporated
into the Final Site Plan. Water, sanitary sewer, reclaimed water (when available), solid waste and police &
fire protection will all be provided by the City of Ocoee.
WAIVER REQUEST:
Only one waiver from the Land Development Code is requested by the applicant/developer. The applicant
has proposed a 15-foot landscape buffer instead of the required 25-foot landscape buffer along Marshall
Farm Road. Justification to allow the City Commission to grant waivers from the Land Development Code
is based upon the project demonstrating an offsetting public benefit which is technically sound and
measurable. As justification of the waiver request, the applicant has agreed to dedicate 10 feet of right-of-
way (Tract "A") along Marshall Farms Road. Staff recommends approval of the waiver request as
presented.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (ORe) met on January 28, 2009 and reviewed the Preliminary Site
Plan for Marshall Farms Business Center. There was discussion on traffic mitigation and completion of the
Development Agreement. The Engineer of record felt confident that the Agreement will be finalized and
executed prior to the City Commission meeting. When the discussion was finished, the DRC voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Site Plan, as date stamped received by the City on
January 12, 2009.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed Marshall Farms Business Center Preliminary
Site Plan on February 10, 2009. City Staff presented a brief overview of the project. City Staff and the
Applicant answered several questions regarding tree preservation, future road connections and truck
turning movements. All of these questions were addressed adequately in the P&Z meeting. There was no
one from the public to speak regarding this large-scale Preliminary Site Plan proposal.
After finishing its deliberations, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the Marshall Farms Business Center Preliminary Site Plan as date stamped received by the
City on January 12, 2009, subject to providing a "Title Report" as specified on the City Attorney's
memorandum dated February 2, 2009 before the City Commission meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the ORC and Planning & Zoning Commission, Staff recommends that the
Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Marshall Farms Business Center Preliminary Site Plan date
stamped received by the City on January 12, 2009.
